Little Girls Can't Be Spider-Man? Heroic Kid Rejects Pushback On Her Halloween Costume. – InspireMore

What do you see in the picture, what do you think this story is about?

Evy was looking forward to Halloween and to wearing her favourite superhero costume to school: Spiderman.

However, when she got to school, some children told her she couldn’t be spiderman because she is a girl. They told her “Spiderman is for boys.”

How do you think Evy replied?

Evy replied, “Spiderman is not for boys, Spiderman is for everyone.”

Evy’s mum posted this story on social media and said, “Costumes are for EVERYONE!"

     - What do we say at our school about boys and girls and clothes they can wear?

     - "Costumes are for EVERYONE" what does that mean?

      - Who gets to decide what costume Evy wears?

     - What would you say if Evy was in your class and you heard someone say Spiderman was for boys?

  What do you see in the picture? Where are they, what are they doing? How was that photo taken, where is the person taking the picture standing (are they standing?) The picture shows 164 members of an international skydiving team broke the world record for skydiving formation, over Illinois USA. This was their 13th attempt to build a shape resembling a giant flower. The previous record was 138. http://www.theguardian.com/sport/gallery/2015/jul/31/world-record-skydiving-formation-in-pictures -What is skydiving, how does it work? - how do you think it feels to skydive? - The skydiving team are an "International" team, what does that mean? - How did the team make this happen? (working together) - Do you think anyone on the team said, "I'm not holding his hand because we have a different religion," or, "I'm not holding your hand because we are from a different country". Did anyone say, "We have skin that is a different colour so we can't hold...

Kamden uses a wheelchair and one day Paul was horrified when he saw his friend's chair tip up and Kamden fall out. The problem was Kamden had grown too big for his chair, but his family could not afford to buy a new one. Paul said, "His wheelchair has fallen forward so many times and that sucks. Also he has a really hard time pushing it because it's so heavy." Paul decided he needed to help his friend so he investigated ways to raise money.

The female reptile, measuring just 49cm is one of only seven in the world. She is a Leucistic alligator. Leucistic alligators are the rarest of all alligators. The alligator has a brother born at the same time with skin the same colour as most other alligators. The alligator has been described as beautiful. The park is asking people to suggest a name for the reptile. You can see footage of the beautiful alligator in the clip above. - how is this alligator different to most other alligators? - Why does this alligator look different to her brother? (she just does!
